Our team

My current role is clinical nurse specialist – service quality improvement which means I do a lot of audits and reports. I am also the co-ordinator for the Safe Practice Effective Communication training, and the Level 3 NZQA Certificate in Health and Wellbeing – Mental Health. I have a strong interest in reducing the use of seclusion in mental health to the point of eliminating it.

I am the nurse educator for Thames Hospital and Community.  I am a Careerforce educator for both the Professional Development Unit and also for local external sites.  I am also the clinical Wintec tutor for our undergraduate students when on placement in Thames.

Kia ora. Ko Stephen Harvey ahau. I have worked as an attendant/orderly for over 25 years and I was one of the original graduates at Waikato Hospital for the Certificate in Health and Wellbeing - Orderly Services (2016).  I have a Diploma in Adult Education and I am the Careerforce assessor and programme teacher/organiser for the attendants (orderlies) training for this certificate at Waikato Hospital.

Kia ora. I work as a nurse educator in the Healthcare Support Development Team. I have a passion for building capacity in our health workforce and supporting people of all backgrounds to reach their full potential. Iti rearea teitei kahikatea ka tae.

Kia ora, ko Nicky toku ingoa. My mahi is varied in the  Professional Development Unit, with my main focus being on growing, supporting and retaining Māori and Pasific nurses within our DHB. I have an assessor background and look forward to using my skills within the healthcare support team.
